Amorim: This is what we missed, and we deserve more
Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim made statements to the press after the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in the 30th round of the Premier League.
The coach said: "We controlled the match, but we knew beforehand that this team is capable of scoring goals from nothing. When they scored, we slightly changed the course of the game from what they wanted. We tried with good chances, but in the final third, the final pass and the decisive pass were missing. If we don't have that, we won't be able to score goals."
"This is the state of this season. We shot a lot on target and pushed the opponent into the final third, but in the final third, we lacked quality. We need to win matches, and we deserved more in this game, that is clear, but the mistake lies with us, and we need to be better in the final third. We should have won this match, not even just drawn, but in the end, we lost three points."
He continued: "We know the character of the team, and one goal could put them in a position they like. We need to score two goals to win the match, and it is frustrating because it was the start of the game. We helped them win the three points."
Regarding Manchester United's progress: "I see that in the match. I won't lie to myself; everyone has the right to say what they want, but we need to win matches. We will move on to the next game."
He concluded: "We have the Europa League, and we have the next match in the Premier League, and that is our focus."
